I really wish Jayblac had someone compile stuff for COTY to help people make their decisions. If strength of schedule is a factor, have somebody compile a list of a bunch of the battle rappers and their schedule for 2019. Could've even thrown that out there for the battle rap community to do it for him to make it easier for everyone lol.

Are there any other ways to spice up COTY?:jbhmm: i get it for the battlers, bonus money n shyt

But even something like the champion getting to handpick one battle with ANYONE who accepts it, on, let's say NOME, SM, or a Volume card

Brings a new dynamic to the shyt talkin and i think battlers would surprise us with who they pick

The whole COTY is a mess. I’ve said that last two years that they should have a top 25, similar to college basketball/football, to have some sort of base for the strength of schedule.

For example, last year, all the guys in their top 20 should have been ranked that way going into the year 2020. You then put out the rankings every 3 months or some shyt. That let’s the battlers know where they’re at so they can target higher ranked opponents and go harder. The entire intent for this is for the fans to get better battles. I could care less about who wins it.

Instead, they vote on their top 20 at the end from scratch. Like how are you gonna do this if there’s no strength of schedule to even begin with? We are talking about what I would consider the most important criteria in determining COTY.


This nygga Math was talking about I just beat Bmagic and no one is talking about it. The dumb nygga actually thinks that’s a strong win, when all he had to do is show up while Bmagic self destructs.

Nah, Roc will end up being all right, because he's not actually fukking up in the actual battles. Once Summer Madness or NOME comes around and Roc is battling Twork or someone like that, he'll show he's still generally looked at the same when it comes to the actual battling.

Yea none of that outside shyt matters. Rock is still at the top of the mountain.

That battle hasn't even dropped right lol.

It would make things much easier if they did something like what you're suggesting and of course there would still be debate. At the bare minimum, it would've been good to have the schedules of each battle rapper. I feel like it only benefits fan favorites. I was told I'm uninformed cuz I said it's burdensome having to look up people's schedules tho lol.

There’s no perfect system, because it’s all subjective.

It just doesn’t make any sense to me to say well, Geechi battled Roc, Arsonal, and Todd just give him COTY. It’s like these are good names, but where are they ranked at this point in time?

Imagine if you had a battler and he’s like hey, “ I beat Battle Rapper A when he was ranked #3, Battler Rapper B when he was ranked #6 at the time, etc.”

Surf vs Lux is on Nome. Yung Ill turned down battling Tay Roc on Genesis, because he couldn't come up with three full rounds in 30 days.

A win is a win. Also, we may not GAF about B Magic anymore, but he somehow still has fans, and gets booked. He said his whole strategy was to put pressure on him and make him choke. And he did. Smart if you ask me. If he said he barred his life away, and he choked, it would be whatever.
